Every year, Luc Bertrand, CBA, of wAw Balloons in Vichte, Belgium, very kindly shares one of his festive designs. This year, he shares his lovely small snowflake!
Step 1.
Inflate each of the 5" White balloons with two pumps on a hand pump and tie the balloons as close as you can to the nozzle end.
Step 2.
Squeeze the air from the balloon so that it inflates the whole balloon, including the neck.
Now, make two small bubbles (see photo).
Step 3.
Bring the neck of the balloon up below the larger bubble and twist. Pull the neck of the balloon through the middle of the two smaller bubbles to hold these in place.
Step 4.
Twist each of the smaller bubbles into a Pinch Twist.
Step 5.
Repeat this process with all eleven balloons.
Step 6.
Now inflate the twelve 6" Quick Links with five pumps of a hand pump and tie these into duplets.
Step 7.
Twist all the duplets together to form a Topiary.
Material List:
11 - 5" White balloons
12 - 6" White Quick Link balloons
Method:
Inflate each of the 5" White balloons with two pumps on a hand pump and tie the balloons as close as you can to the nozzle end.
Step 2.
Squeeze the air from the balloon so that it inflates the whole balloon, including the neck.
Now, make two small bubbles (see photo).
Step 3.

Step 4.

Step 5.

Step 6.
Now inflate the twelve 6" Quick Links with five pumps of a hand pump and tie these into duplets.
Step 7.Twist all the duplets together to form a Topiary.
Step 8.
Attach the 5" balloons to the tips of each of the Quick Link balloons with the exception of the top balloon. This will enable you to hang it easily.
Thank you once again, Luc, for sharing a wonderful design that we can use this festive season!
Happy Ballooning!
